Maybe because they like the new logo so much!? Anyway, it’s time for XP and Vista support to be dropped, yet the same way it is actually time to drop Firefox altogether. I don’t know why they are still sticking to Firefox, at all. Firefox WebExtension users = Chrome users, basically. Nevertheless, I will stay with alternative browsers until the problems with WebExtensions and their pitiful functionality deficits are sorted out (read: until nothing works in alternative browsers anymore). I agree with you that it is time for users of Firefox to think about the future. This is a big plus for alternative browser users.
Mozilla has been going down far longer than other software providers. The organization planned to analyze the situation then to come up with a final date for ending support for the two operating D:ĭespite the negative comments posted about alternative browsers (you know the ones who got really annoying and repetitive with me and 90% of all other commenters as the corporate shills refused to back off) look at the positive side. Mozilla promised to support Windows XP and Vista until at least September 2017. The browser gets security updates however when new Firefox versions get released. Instead of having to cope with new releases every six or so weeks, Firefox ESR gets major updates only after eight release cycles. It is designed primarily for organizations who want more time when it comes to browser updates. This meant basically that Firefox 52.x was the last stable channel version of Firefox for those operating systems, and that XP and Vista users could not run Firefox 53 on their devices.įirefox ESR is the Extended Support Release of Firefox.
Mozilla moved Windows XP and Windows Vista users of Firefox to the web browser's ESR channel during the release of Firefox 53.
Mozilla, maker of the Firefox web browser, announced today that Firefox support for Windows XP and Windows Vista will be ended in June 2018.
